April’s Fool Contest

This Contest Is No Joke!

Ah yes, April. The month containing the one day of the year when you cannot believe anything you see or read on the internet. Together with Engine Publishing, we’d like to take this month and put some good spin on it by coming up with a contest for fools. Literally. We’d like you to create a fool for folks to use in their games.

From Jesters to idiot henchman and wannabe sidekicks, every story needs some humor here and there. It typically revolves around a character who would be regarded as a fool. We are looking for you to create a fool for us and the community to place into our games at a moments notice. We’re trying to cover our bases by asking for fools from what we consider to be the “main” (aka most generic) 3 genres:

Modern

Fantasy

Sci-Fi

An example NPC from MASKS

Create A Fool, Win Something Cool

Okay, couldn’t resist the rhyme – just testing out my fool skills. So in the tradition of making excellent, quick, and easy to read NPC layouts, we’d like you to tell us about your fool in much the same format as Engine Publishing’s MASKS.

Simply fill out the form below to submit your fool to us and we’ll be taking a look at all of our entries at the end of the month. We’ll be picking one winner for each genre category.

Winners will receive a copy of MASKS and one other Engine Publishing book in PDF of their choice (courtesy of Gnomestew and Engine Publishing), as well as $25 to spend at DriveThruRPG and also have their NPC discussed on a future episode of Haste! If you’d like to come on the show and tell us about your winning fool you’re more than welcome to as well.

Nope! I’m just, obviously really really confused and thought your comment was for the caption contest. Fools are in the works of being judged, just a lot of gears turning back here. Expect an update next week.
